Whale Shark report - Wednesday 8 July 2009

We had a lovely dive at Central Station today with all of the usual suspects, including manta rays, actively zoom zooming all over the reef.

We'd tell you more but we're so excited to get to the whale sharks ->

FIVE whale sharks today!  It was a wonderful day with excellent swims with all five of the whale sharks but the best was...

...on almost our last drop of the day two whale sharks crossed paths!  Not only that but they really checked us all out big time.  It's rare to see two sharks cross paths (it's happened a few time this season) but even more rare to have them also be remotely interested in us - usually they're only paying attention to each other!  Breathtaking experience!!

We feel bad neglecting to rave about the awesome humpback whales that were splashing everywhere we looked, but we're still so stoked about the whale sharks we had today!
